PRIVACY POLICY
BY VISITING, USING AND/OR SUBMITTING INFORMATION TO THE SITE, YOU ARE
ACCEPTING THE PRACTICES DESCRIBED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND THE TERMS
OF USE POSTED
ON THE SITE.
Pavia takes your privacy seriously, and has published this Privacy Policy
to explain how it treats all information you may submit to the Site.
Pavia maintains
high professional standards with regard to the confidentiality and protection
of user privacy.
COLLECTION OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
The collection of personally identifiable information is required in order
for Pavia to provide Pavia Services. However, Pavia does not share your personally
identifiable information with any other party except in the provision of Pavia
Services with notice to you identifying such other party by name, location,
and contact. The following are certain situations in which Pavia may collect
personally identifiable information about you:
1. In order to use Pavia Services, you must transmit, submit or post personally
identifiable information. Pavia will collect that information you provide and
use it to provide Pavia Services. Pavia retains this information as necessary
to process payments, resolve disputes, provide customer support and troubleshoot
problems as permitted by law and pursuant to the Terms of Use
2. Pavia may collect personally identifiable information from you to register
you for an electronic newsletter. When you register online with Pavia, Pavia
asks for personally identifiable information such as your name, address, e-mail
address, occupation, industry, and other demographic information.
3. If you send Pavia personal correspondence, such as e-mails or letters, or
if other users or third parties send Pavia correspondence about your activities
or postings on the Site, Pavia may choose to collect such information into
a file specific to you.
4. Pavia may receive your personally identifiable information from one or more
of Pavia's business partners.
USE OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
Pavia uses your personally identifiable information to provide Pavia Services.
Your personally identifiable information may also be aggregated and used by
Pavia for market research, project planning, troubleshooting problems, detecting
and protecting against error, fraud or other criminal activity, to enforce
Pavia's Terms of Use, for other internal purposes, and as otherwise described
to you at the time of collection. Pavia will obtain your consent for any use
of your personally identifiable information beyond the original uses for which
you provided your consent.
You agree that Pavia may use personal information about you to improve its
marketing and promotional efforts, analyze site usage, improve its Content
and Services, customize the Content and layout of the Site, and as otherwise
set forth in this Privacy Policy. You also agree that Pavia may use your personal
information to contact you and deliver information to you that may be targeted
to your interests, such as administrative notices, product offerings, and communications
correlative, or relevant to your use of the Site. By accepting the Terms of
Use, including this Privacy Policy, you expressly agree to receive this information.
If you do not wish to receive these communications, Pavia encourages you to
opt out of the receipt of certain communications, as set forth below.
DISCLOSURE OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
Pavia does not share, loan, rent or sell your personally identifiable information
except as required to provide Pavia Services. The following describes some
of the ways that your personally identifiable information may be disclosed
in the normal scope of business to provide Pavia Services:
1. Pavia may aggregate personally identifiable information and disclose such
information in a non-personally identifiable manner to advertisers and other
third parties for their marketing and promotional purposes. However, in these
situations, Pavia does not disclose to these entities any information that
could be used to identify you personally. Information such as your name, e-mail
address, password, and credit and banking information, are not disclosed to
these third parties in a personally identifiable manner without your explicit
consent.
2. There may be services offered by third parties that Pavia refers to as third
party service providers that may be complementary to your use of the Site.
If you choose to use these third party services, disclose information to third
party service providers, and/or grant them permission to collect information
about you, then their use of your information is governed by the privacy policies
of such third parties. Pavia does not disclose your personally identifiable
information to third party service providers unless you provide your explicit
consent. With your consent, Pavia may provide some of your personal information
to third party service providers offering such services, for your convenience.
To prevent Pavia's disclosure of your personally identifiable information to
a third party service provider, you can decline such consent or simply not
use their services. Because Pavia does not control the privacy practices of
these third parties, you should evaluate their practices before deciding to
use their services.
3. Pavia may use third parties that Pavia refers to as "internal-service
providers" to facilitate or outsource one or more aspects of the Pavia
Services, business, or operations (e.g., technology, newsletters/alerts, analytic
tools, advertising management), and therefore Pavia may provide some of your
personal information directly to these internal service providers. These internal
service providers are subject to confidentiality agreements with Pavia and
other legal restrictions that prohibit their use of the information Pavia provides
to them for any other purpose except to facilitate the specific outsourced
Pavia -related operation, unless you have explicitly agreed or given your prior
permission to them for additional uses. In some instances, the internal-service
provider may collect information directly from you. In these cases, you will
be notified of the involvement of the internal-service provider, and all additional
information you provide them and their additional uses will be strictly up
to you. If you provide additional information to an internal-service provider
directly, then their use of your personally identifiable information is governed
by such service provider's privacy policy.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pavia reserves the right (and you authorize
Pavia) to share or disclose your personally identifiable information when Pavia
determines, in its sole discretion, that the disclosure of your personally
identifiable information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action
against you if:
1. You are or may be violating this Privacy Policy or other Terms of Use
2. You are interfering with another's rights or property, including, without
limitation, Pavia's rights or property;
3. You are violating any applicable law, rule or regulation;
4. Necessary or required by any applicable law, rule or regulation; and/or
5. Requested by authorities in the event of any act of terrorism or instance
of local, regional or national emergency.
Personally identifiable information and other personal information collected
from you may also be transferred to a third party as a result of a sale, acquisition,
merger, reorganization, other transfer or bankruptcy (a "Transfer")
involving Pavia and/or its affiliates. Pavia specifically reserves the right
to transfer personally identifiable information collected from the Site, and
any of its databases, together with any personally identifiable information
contained therein, to a third party in connection with a Transfer, and nothing
in this Privacy Policy is intended to interfere with the ability of Pavia to
transfer all or part of its business and/or assets (including its URL and the
Site) to an affiliate or independent third party at any time, for any purpose,
without any limitation whatsoever.
In addition, due to the existing regulatory environment, Pavia cannot ensure
that all of your private communications and other personally identifiable information
will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.
By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), Pavia may be forced to
disclose personal information to the government or third parties under certain
circumstances or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions
or private communications. Therefore, although Pavia uses industry standard
practices to protect your privacy, Pavia does not promise, and you should not
expect, that your personally identifiable information or private communications
will always remain private.

SSL-encryption to protect data transmissions. In the unlikely event that an
unauthorized third party compromises Pavia security measures, Pavia will not
be responsible for any damages directly or indirectly caused by an unauthorized
third party's ability to view, use or disseminate such information. Pavia will
notify you in the event it becomes aware of an unauthorized use or compromise
of your personally identifiable information and will take reasonable measures
to limit further unauthorized use or compromise.
